I've made several changes and improvements to the packages to address the outstanding issues. I've also completely rewritten the PPA's description to include answers to the most common questions.
Ad keyring: Unlocking an encrypted keyring with a fingerprint is not technically feasible. See the PPA's description for a detailed rationale. Fixing the above mentioned bug wouldn't be of any help in this case. Ad starting Synaptic and other graphical applications running with root privileges: The current way of launching these applications (gksu) has major limitations and will (almost surely) never work with fingerprint authentication. A replacement has been packaged in the PPA (available only for Lucid, unfortunately). And again please refer to the PPA's description for details on its installation and use. Ad jedioetzi's timeouts: This might be related to your hardware as I can't seem to be able to reproduce it. If you can replicate it more or less reliably, could you please provide detailed steps? -- gnome-about-me misses fprintd for fingerprint authentication support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
